Hello! I'm Kyle Ray, founder and lead instructor at Pocket Drum School. If you're here, you're in the right place. Whether you're looking to strengthen your core fundamentals, dive deeper into advanced techniques and concepts, or simply want personalized, one-on-one guidance on tuning, gear choices, touring strategies, gig preparation, or anything else in between—I'm here to help you level up.

I always begin with a free consultation call (no strings attached). This is your chance for us to connect, discuss your current playing level, goals, and challenges. More importantly, you'll get a clear sense of my teaching style and approach so you can decide if we're the right choice for you

With over 8 years of professional playing and teaching experience (starting in my early twenties), I've built a career performing and educating across a wide range of styles. My specialty lies in pocket-oriented grooves and real-world application, including:

• Funk

• Blues

• Rock

• Country

• Hip-Hop

• Jazz / Fusion

…and most other genres you'll encounter on modern gigs and sessions.

My coaching is tailored to working drummers (and those aspiring to be). We focus on what actually moves the needle—building groove, time feel, musicality, versatility, and the practical skills that help you land and keep the gig. Ready to get started? Book your free consultation today. Let's talk about where you are, where you want to go, and how we can get you there—together

Fill out the form below and will get back to you shortly.

Looking forward to connecting,

Kyle Ray
